1.)The fog symbolizes the society, it blinds them and makes it so they can't do anything that they plan to do. The light is peace and freedom when they are in the light they can do whatever they need to and go wherever they need to without being blinded.
2.) He feels bad about playing a trick on Jim because he does care for Jim even though Jim is a slave, Jim realizes that even though Jim is a slave he still has feelings just like any other man which kind of makes Huck realize that slaves have feelings too.
3.)
a.) Huck in a way is freaking out because he thinks he is the reason that Jim's is free and if anyone were to find out that Huck help free Jim, Huck would suffer an extremely harsh punishment, maybe even death. Freeing a slave is pretty much the worst thing you could do back then which is what Huck grew up learning, even though he is actually helping out someone that he cares about.
b.) Jim wants to go steal his own children from the man who owns them, it is ironic because these are Jim's children and in order to be with them he has to steal the from someone else who owns them, when really he should "own" his children. Huck is hesitant about helping Jim get free so he could steal the children because he does not know the man who owns Jim's children, that man has never done anything bad to Huck he is just a typical man who owns slaves, a man like any men that Huck has grown up with, so the fact that Jim wants to steal the slaves that this man owns kind of worries Huck because by helping Jim get free he is allowing/helping him steal from a man Huck doesn't even know.
c.) Why do the right thing when it is harder, rather than just take the easy route and do the wrong thing because they both end in the same way.
d.)They need to turn when they get to Cairo or they will end up in the south which is a really bad place for runaway slaves, and now they think they missed the turn and Jim thinks that it was because of the snake skin which was really bad luck.
4.)Huck makes up a story about his father being extremely sick with small pocks and they feel bad for Huck so they give him $40 because they won't physically help him because they do want to get small pocks.
5.)The values of a person by a society, society destroys the individuality of people. The steam boat is the society and the man made raft is the individuality of one person.
6.) He didn't really like the novel, he didn't think it was going anywhere, he actually started writing another book, but he went on a cruise where he encountered the KKK in many places which made him start writing Huck Finn again.
7.)The entire chapter brings up a romantic idea of death. Romeo and Juliet.
8.) Huck is able to see how ridiculous the feud is because he is an outsider, the two families don't even know why they are fighting, they just do it because there families have been doing it forever. This brings up the role of an outsider, Huck is the outsider to this family so he realizes how dumb this is when the family doesn't
9.)He thinks that Buck is actually asking him a question about moses, he does not understand that it is a riddle. I think that Huck could be compared to moses, Moses frees the slaves, similar to Huck freeing Jim.
10.)The hogs will go to church whenever they want to, whereas people will only go on the day they have to. So this is stating that hogs are better then people because they aren't going to church because they have to they are going because they want to. The men who go to church bring guns and hide them, which is ironic because they whole sermon was about brotherly love.
11.) It symbolizes romanticism, this feud is similar to the feud in romeo and Juliet. These people really have no idea why they are fighting they only do it because that's what there family has always done. And i think they continue the feud because they love the competition which is a natural human trait.
12.)They were allowed to whatever they wanted on the raft, unlike the house where everything was corrupt and Huck had a daily schedule.
13.)Huck and Jim were always naked, they were free from clothes just like they were free from society.
14.) Because he does not want any quarrels on the raft, pap taught him that it is better to let people play and let them do their own thing rather than argue with them.
15.)
16.) The king plays Juliet, which is funny because the king is really old and ugly which satirizes the book.
17.)The king is scamming all these people by saying he is a born again pirate which just symbolizes the extreme gullibility of people.
18.)He is just showing how gullible people can be by believing these men. These men are con men and obvious ones at that but because there stories seem somewhat exciting people believe them.
Good! What happen to 15?
